Karl Marx City

Epperlein and Tucker sift through these illicit materials - and forge their own fresh images and interviews - with an eye toward illuminating the truth and possibly even vindicating the innocent.

A hypnotic work of cinematic autobiography that leverages one woman's fear to exhume the paranoia that once defined an entire country.

As much an inquiry into the mechanics of how autocratic regimes work as it is a search for the truth about one citizen's tragic end in its clutches.

The beauty of [Michael] Tucker's cinematography speaks for itself, but it was also shot to be able to integrate well with archival footage, also filmed in black and white.
